Transcript

Designing cool shit for best balls. I do a whole new campaign and merch collection because it takes balls for this to be your merch. Starting off strong with the I Heart Balls hoodie and the matching trucker, I do a new flavor that looks like a tennis ball, and the three pack comes in a tennis ball cam. This t shirt that says it takes balls to look this good and rank life by the balls on the bad. This variety 10 pack that looks like a billiard set. I then launched Balls Billiard Hall, a New York City bar pop up with this ad campaign that says come and play with our balls. I'd have custom best ball lamps, the I'm Buzz tier shirt, the slogan hoodie, and no bar is complete without a matchbook. I do this shirt that says I have blue balls and run this ad and a pair of blue balls to your car mirror. The full buzz ball collection. Buzz balls. Let's make this happen.
